he could put on what is essentially an unpopular measure, dianne feinstein notwithstanding, and that's a renewal of the assault weapons ban. he could put it on that base bill and have it bring down the entire bill. under that circumstances, by harry reid's estimation, it has fewer, martin, fewer than 40 votes in support in the united states senate. you can't blame it all on ted cruz and his compatriots on the republican side. there are several democrats who don't favor a renewal of the assault weapons ban. you need 60 votes. harry reid told us with less than 40 votes in support, it would be filibustered, gun control wouldn't even get a debate and that's unacceptable to aefb in the wake of newtown, just three months passed. what's going to be on the floor in the base bill? this is why it's important. something that can pass with bipartisan support, there's a provision to crack down on straw purchasers and gun trafficking and a few other provision. that will be a starting point. the assault weapons ban, they'll try to add it in. it's not likely to be passed ar be attached. >> if senate d

senator feinstein has tremendous courage, as well as being one of the sharpest intellects in the united states senate. the vast majority of her colleagues know that. cruz is a newbie. perhaps he doesn't realize the kind, the level of respect that has been earned from senator feinstein's colleagues. but to do that, what it did was really to marginalize senator cruz. now, clearly he's trying to stake out a political position to the right of the republican party and it keeps getting more and more difficult as every republican seems to kowtow to the nra with very few exceptions. but, you know, at some point, he keeps trying to get to the further and further to the right, he's just going to fall off the cliff in terms of rationality. >> just a final question, sir. this week the president has made extensive attempts to reach out to republicans, to try and reach some kind of agreement on a grand bargain of some kind. have you been disappointed by what you've seen at places like cpac which seems to suggest that there's just no willingness whatsoever to compromise at all? >> no, they really are
